The primer layer (104) with improved reflectivity and heat insulation properties is provided for use in the microencapsulated thermal imaging sheet (100). The primer layer having a polymer binder, white fine particles in an amount of about 3 to about 60% by weight based on the total weight of the primer layer, a primer substrate (102), and hollow fine particles improves the reflectivity, color development, color density, and heat insulation of the microcapsule (108) imaging sheet containing it. The black backcoat (105) applied to the substrate on the opposite side of the primer layer further enhances the Dmax and E of the microcapsule imaging sheet and prevents premature exposure of the microcapsule imaging sheet in the laminated media. 10 ​

The present invention relates to the field of inkless printing technology, and particularly to a pressure-sensitive display paper and its application in inkless printing. This pressure-sensitive display paper sequentially includes a bottom-color base paper, an absorption layer, and a top-color pressure paper; the top-color pressure paper includes color-developing microcapsules with a transparent material as the wall material and a first pigment as the core material; the absorption layer includes a material that can react with the first pigment to change the first pigment from a colored state to a colorless state; the bottom-color base paper includes a second pigment. In this application, the color-developing microcapsules in the pressed part of the top-color pressure paper are ruptured to release the first pigment to react with the material of the absorption layer, so that the color of the pressed part irreversibly becomes transparent and colorless, thereby revealing the color of the second pigment of the bottom-color base paper below it. The bottom-color base paper can be prepared in various colors through the prior art. Therefore, inkless printing of any color is achieved, and the long-term preservation of the printed pattern is ensured based on the irreversible color change.

Revealable substrates and methods include an opacifying layer having a plurality of irregular and / or odd-shaped opaque polymer particles defining voids therebetween. At least part of the opacifying layer may be induced to become transparent, for example, by collapsing at least some of the voids to reduce or eliminate internal reflection of light in the opacifying layer. Upon rendering transparent the portion(s) of the opacifying layer, a color material (e.g., ink) disposed underneath the opacifying layer is revealed and / or viewable therethrough.

After that, an examination window is set in the gray-scale image of each reference pressure-sensitive copy slip form, the image part of the examination window is used as a reference image part and is registered with the threshold value of the luminance that distinguishes the desensitizing ink application region and the other region in the reference image part. Subsequently, an examination target pressure-sensitive copy slip form is subjected to coloring processing and is imaged, an examination window common to the reference pressure-sensitive copy slip form for the gray-scale image of the examination target pressure-sensitive copy slip form is set, the image part in the examination window and its corresponding reference image part are binarized, the difference between corresponding desensitizing ink application regions is taken, and it is determined that desensitizing print was performed correctly on the inspection target pressure-sensitive copy slip form when the difference is within an acceptance range.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
